The first volume of pearl curtains rolls up the western mountain rain at dusk Chapter 10: Shulin Shulin
Instructor Yan Qingzhi was beaten. The large piece of dirt hitting his face was really spectacular. Not only Yan Qingzhi was stunned, but also Li Diudiu, who was closest to him.
But although it clearly had nothing to do with Li Diudiu, Yan Qingzhi glared at him fiercely and then walked out. He strode to the side of the garden wall and saw Gao Xining squatting behind it.
"First... sir."
Gao Xining smiled awkwardly: "I'm digging earthworms."
Yan Qingzhi looked at her and said, "Miss, why are you digging earthworms here?"
Gao Xining took a deep breath and told himself not to panic, but he really panicked and stammered, "Of course digging earthworms is useful. I dig earthworms for grandpa to eat... No, for grandpa the fish, no no, for grandpa the fish..."
Yan Qingzhi: "Miss, did you dig up the earthworms?"
Gao Xining shook his head like a rattle: "No... I didn't find anything."
Yan Qing sighed and said, "Just dig up a big piece of dirt."
Gao Xining: “What is that?”
Yan Qingzhi pointed to his face: "What's on my face?"
Gao Xining took a closer look and replied, "Sir, have you applied powder? This is Yunzhaiji's new powder, right? I've never seen this earthy yellow color before."
Yan Qing glared at her angrily, raised his finger and pointed at her, his fingers trembling with anger. In the end, he had no choice but to stomp his feet and turn around and leave.
Gao Xining let out a long breath and thought to himself, this guy is going to complain to his grandfather soon. What should he say?
Would he refuse to admit it even if he was beaten, or would he admit it before being beaten?
Of course her grandfather didn't beat her, but he was quite scary when he puffed his beard and glared at her. But she was not afraid, because she was not a student of the academy, and Yan Qingzhi had no way to expel her from the academy.
Yan Qingzhi returned to the classroom and glared at Li Diudiu again. Li Diudiu was standing on tiptoe looking outside. He wanted to know who was so bold as to throw clods of earth at his students. Judging from the precision of the throwing technique, he must be a repeat offender.
"You go out and stand there as punishment!"
Yan Qingzhi pointed at the door. Li Diudiu was startled and thought, is it my fault?
His anger had already reached its limit and was about to explode, but seeing Yan Qingzhi's dusty appearance with his own eyes, he inexplicably felt refreshed, and his anger dissipated a lot.
"Yes, sir."
Li Diudiu leaned over and answered, then walked to the door and stood there, taking a long breath and exhaling slowly.
At this moment, he still wanted to cry, but his master said that he had grown up and how could a boy cry for no reason? His master said that there are only two greatest hardships in the world: the first is separation and the second is hunger.
The second-ranked person never cried even when he was hungry, and he couldn't cry even when he was wronged.
" Continue the class!"
Yan Qingzhi's roar was heard in the classroom, and the remaining three guys were so scared that they didn't even dare to breathe.
Li Diudiu stood at the door and listened attentively. He had to admit that Yan Qingzhi's method of solving problems in mathematics was better than that of his master. His master knew everything, but mathematics was his weakest subject.
He listened and took notes. If he was not allowed to write it down in a notebook, he would just memorize it in his heart. Li Diudiu learned everything quickly, otherwise his master would not have spent several years to cram so many things into his brain.
Just at this moment he noticed a little girl quietly sticking her head out from the other side of the garden wall, as if looking at him. Li Diudiu's first reaction was that the little girl was really pretty.
Judging from her hairstyle, she is not yet of marriageable age. She is only one or two years older than me, with a fair and tender face with a little pinkness, pretty eyes, a pretty nose, and a pretty mouth. They look even prettier when put together.
"What are you looking at?"
Seeing him staring at her so rudely, Gao Xining muttered four words, then turned and walked away. She walked leisurely with her hands behind her back, looking very much like her grandfather, but the ponytail simply tied behind her head swaying back and forth made her look even more beautiful.
Girls from the Great Chu were not allowed to go to school, even though she was the granddaughter of the great scholar Gao Shaowei. However, she was studious and wanted to learn everything. When other girls were still acting like spoiled brats, she would sit next to her grandfather and read books obediently. Now, at the age of only thirteen, she had already read most of the books in Gao Shaowei's study.
Gao Shaowei couldn't let her study in the academy, but he could teach her himself. She was his only relative, so he taught Gao Xining whatever she wanted to learn. She listened with great interest even to some obscure political tactics.
However, no matter how much she learns, she is still only thirteen years old, still at an age where she loves to play. The so-called genius learns more than others even without giving up on playing.
Gao Xining, who had already walked a distance, suddenly seemed to remember something and turned back. She strolled in front of Li Diudiu and first stretched out her hand to gesture her height. Li Diudiu reached her forehead, so she was very satisfied.
He said to Li Diudiu in a condescending manner, "The teacher inside is not good. If you don't know how to do today's math, you can come to the pavilion over there after school is suspended. I will teach you, but in exchange, you have to show me how to box."
Li Diudiu asked, "Why do I need you to teach me? The math problem that the teacher taught today has seven solutions, and the teacher only explained four of them. Do you know the rest?"
Gao Xining's eyes lit up when he heard this: "You actually know there are seven solutions to this problem?"
Then she responded: “Who do you look down on?”
Li Diudiu didn't answer, but asked: "Did you hit the gentleman with the dirt?"
Gao Xining said condescendingly: "Thank me."
"Why?"
"Because I helped you vent your anger."
"Well."
Li Diudiu said seriously: "I can bear the anger myself, and I will get out of it in the future."
"Pooh!"
Gao Xining was so angry that her liver hurt. She lowered her head and looked into Li Diudiu's eyes and said, "People like you really deserve to be bullied. And you even talked back to a girl. You are just a stubborn person."
Li Diudiu: "My master said the same thing."
Gao Xining turned and walked away, looking unhappy: "Your master is not a girl."
Li Diudiu said: "How can a woman be someone's master?"
Gao Xining, who had already walked out, turned around abruptly, looked at Li Diudiu and said word by word: "Let's make a bet. If I can't make you call me Master, I will call you Master from now on."
Li Diudiu said: "That won't work. I am your master and I have to support you."
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may be angry.
Li Diudiu just naturally thought that it was his master who had been supporting him all these years, even though the support was not very good. This girl who appeared out of nowhere actually wanted him to be her master. What a nice thought.
This was the first time Gao Xining was so angry. She bit her lip and turned around: "You are not only stubborn, you are also a stubborn person, you are also an idiot, you are... you are a shameless villain."
After saying that, she left. She was so angry that she didn't walk like her grandfather anymore, except that her ponytail swung a little louder.
In fact, although they spoke in low voices, Yan Qingzhi in the classroom heard it. He did not come over to interrupt. After Gao Xining left with her ponytail swinging, he stood at the door and watched for a while, actually feeling a bit of relief.
"That's all for today. You should review your studies well when you go back."
Yan Qingzhi waved his hand: "Let's all go back."
After he finished speaking, he picked up the book and left. Zhang Xiaolin was afraid that the teacher would forget what he said, so he stood up quickly and said, "Sir, just a moment, a moment..."
Yan Qingzhi nodded: "I understand."
Then he walked out of the door, and when he came out he glanced at Li Diudiu with a look of disgust.
In the room, Sun Rugong looked curious: "I don't know who the girl who was talking outside just now was. I took a sneak peek at her and she seemed to be pretty good."
Zhang Xiaolin said: "What's the point of talking to a girl?"
Sun Rugong asked, "Isn't it interesting to talk to a pretty girl?"
Zhang Xiaolin: "You actually want to play with girls, disgusting!"
Sun Rugong had no time to argue with him, so he pointed at Li Diudiu and said, "Is he going to leave?"
Zhang Xiaolin quickly ran over and blocked Li Diudiu's way: "Did you forget that we still have a fight to fight today?"
Li Diudiu looked back and saw that Yan Qingzhi had already walked a long way, so he nodded and said, "I'll clean the classroom, put down the books, and then find you in the woods. Don't be afraid."
Zhang Xiaolin snorted: "If I'm afraid of you, I'm a pig."
After saying that, he waved his hand and said, "Let's go and wait for him first!"
Li Diudiu packed up his things, then sprinkled water and swept the floor. The room was already clean, and there were only four of them in the class, but he still swept carefully from the back to the front, and wiped all the tables and chairs again.
After returning to his residence with his books, Li Diudiu washed his face with water, thought about whether he should go or not, and finally got up and headed towards the woods.
In the woods, Zhang Xiaolin and Sun Rugong had been waiting for a long time, getting impatient. Sun Rugong said, "When Li Chi comes later, remember that you must let the master see you when he beats you. I will go to the edge of the woods to keep watch for you. When I see the master coming, I will tell you. Before that, you can beat him."
Zhang Xiaolin said, "Don't worry. I asked the martial arts master at home how to break Li Chi's moves. I won't suffer any loss. The martial arts master said that the only way to break the martial arts is to be fast. We have to attack his face first."
Just then, Li Chi arrived, rolling up his sleeves as he walked: "If you want to fight, please hurry up, I have to go to the cafeteria to eat later."
"You won't be able to eat today."
Zhang Xiaolin was furious went up to punch him. Li Diudiu dodged sideways, pinched Zhang Xiaolin's wrist with his left hand, and grabbed Zhang Xiaolin's elbow with his right hand and twisted it outward. Zhang Xiaolin fell down in pain.
Li Diudiu sat down on Zhang Xiaolin with a bored look on his face, and casually punched Zhang Xiaolin's face a few times with his fists without using any force.
Hit, hit, hit, and hit again.
He looked very bored when he said these words.
Just at this moment Sun Rugong ran over and made an agreed gesture, which meant that the master was here!
Zhang Xiaolin was pinned down by Li Diudiu, but he didn't lose his momentum and yelled, "Hit me if you dare!"
Li Diudiu asked, “Are you serious?”
Zhang Xiaolin said angrily: "You don't dare? If you don't dare to really hit me, you are a pig, you are a cowardly poor bastard, you don't dare to hit me!"
Li Diudiu sighed, "The way you asked me to beat you was really high-profile."
Then he hit me.
Li Diudiu turned Zhang Xiaolin over and punched him several times on the thick part of his buttocks.
Zhang Xiaolin was anxious: "Do you dare to hit me in the face?"
Li Diudiu: “???”
After a while, Li Diudiu walked away with his hands behind his back. Zhang Xiaolin lay on the ground crying. Sun Rugong ran over and looked at his face: "What should we do? Don't say you had a fight when you go back. Just say you fell. Look at you, you're crying because you were beaten."
Zhang Xiaolin: "Where's the gentleman?"
Sun Rugong squatted there and said awkwardly: "I passed by, didn't come, left..."
There is a group of pavilions across the lake from here. One of the wooden buildings is the academy's library, named Shulin Building.
Yan Qingzhi stood outside the Shulin Tower and looked around.
We agreed to meet in the Book Forest. Where is Zhang Xiaolin? Didn't he say he had something important to discuss in the Book Forest?
